The feast of the Black Nazarene kicked off with the parade of Replicas this afternoon, it was a preview of the biggest show of devotion of what is to come two days from now, where millions of devotees to the Black Nazarene is expected to participate. Thousands of devotees with their replicas participated this afternoon, some were there since morning. The volume of trash produced in such a gathering can be a surprising amount. I was taking a break at the side door of the parish when a man quietly walked by and picked up a broom and started to walk towards the foot of Quezon Bridge and started to sweep the street to the surprise of his aides and security personnel. By then they were scampering to look for brooms themselves to help clean the trash left on the street by the revelers, The man was Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, Rector and Parish Priest of Quiapo Church.
